From work that is, not here.
Enjoy your retirement Theo, best thing I ever did.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 18-10-2024
Well, funny as it may sound Wakey (et al), I've just had my first payment (for 5 days, joy) and I've had an offer of some part time work for a well known motor brummy, brum, brum manufacturer. They came looking for me via a friend of a former colleague.
Over the last 4-6 months the few that have offered me anything have all wanted someone to knock on doors for them. Now wtf makes them think a guy with 45-50 years of technical experience makes them suddenly desperate to become the sales office junior, I know not.
These folks are ultimately looking for a permanent employee with technical experience but, they like the cut of my cv's jib as a stop gap. We'll see how it goes, but it will put a few crusts on the table on top of my pension and it's fast becoming the time of year when golf and gardening are slightly less appealing.
No names, no pack drill but 007 has been known to drive a few of them and the owners son and his well known Spanish team mate are driving a rather fast one seater version round a motor brummy, brum, brum circuit in Texas this weekend.
As far as I'm aware, the part-time job does not have the (ahem) adVantage of a company car, but gift horses and mouths and all that .... have a good weekend all.

By the way, I don't know if Stairs reads this or not, but on his subject of Unaccetable Content, I struggle to understand why I've yet to receive an email notification from any thread I've subscribed to since the site moved to a new server, but adverts like this are somehow deemed acceptable. I neither have the legs, hips or the chest to fit any of these items of clothing.

Octopus solar panels now, funny how it all works innit?
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - jjamez - 19-10-2024
That's even worse living in the UK. We don't see the sun let alone long enough for this so laar energy
Least you had a cowboys hat and what looks like a fleshlight... Not one to judge me Theo, but I'd have gone for a black cowboys hat like the man in black from westworld
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 19-10-2024
If only it was black?!? It would at least cover the solar panel that developed on the top of my skull about 40 years ago (give or take). I could use the fleshlight (nice typo, if not intentional) to find my way to the bathroom at around 3:00am though. Maybe I could also use the hat to save the trip to the bathroom until it is daylight?
OK, so your fave album of all time is?
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - jjamez - 19-10-2024
No no typo from me Theo, fully intentional.
Fave album, now that's a difficult one as I'm in the iTunes and Spotify generation, still a fair few decades before I retire, so I get albums into a playlist and it's all on shuffle.
But for me night visions or evolve by imagine dragons. All this bad blood by Bastille, absolution by muse or hot fuss/ day and age by the killers. Yeah more a case of my fave albums from the band's I listen to most.
My Spotify would be quite a varied read through, there's bee gees there, queen, red hot chilli peppers, linkin park, Otis reading, Eminem, Hans Zimmer, foo fighters some classic house music from the 90's, think I've even got Frankie blue eyes and dean Martin in there. There'll be quite I've forgotten about too
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - St Charles Owl - 19-10-2024
My favorite album growing up was Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, it wasn’t mine as I was only 7/8 but my Dad played it a lot. I was always a singer and have a tape of me as a 7 year old singing The Boxer!! Once I was old enough to buy my own I ended up with quite an eclectic collection with The Beach Boys, Elton John (first single I bought was Crocodile Rock in 73?), a lot of Queen, ELO, and the Sex Pistols!! If I had to give a single album as favorite it would either be Out of the Blue by ELO or Hemispheres by Rush, could play either of them over and over. First concert was Def Leppard in 1979 ish, but I saw Queen more than any other group.
